A.V.M. Bennett, much decorated in the war for his exploits flying, was appointed to run British South American Airways (BSAA) straight after the war, using Lancastrians as passenger aircraft and employing wartime pilots, specializing in South American routes. Operating on a shoestring, pilots were often insufficiently experienced at flying the routes and the planes frequently had barely enough fuel to reach their destination. Interleaved with this is the modern day expedition to find the crash site, which despite a massive search of the Andes had never been found until two Argentine climbers came upon parts of the aircraft on a glacier high up in the Andes, more than 50 km's from the last reported position.
This is a story with several ingredients: the romance of the early days of long haul flying; the mystery of the crash and the eccentric, cavalier figure of A.V.M. Bennett himself.
